\begin{abstract}
\thispagestyle{empty}
A cache-timing attack is a subset of side channel attacks that tries to find flaws in the implementation of encryption algorithms. This project will focus on the application of cache-timing attacks for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). The research and project will attempt to determine the feasibility of a full key recovery for AES, update the techniques for modern hardware including multi-core systems, and try to apply the attack in different situations such as running the attack from inside of a Linux chroot jail or virtual machine sandbox.
